It's an Olympus FE-20 8 Megapixel 3x Zoom Silver Digital Camera
I don't have this camera, but have had an Olympus in the past that worked very well for me... looked like a good buy on a digital camera so I thought I'd pass it along.
The reviews on Amazon look pretty ok for it.
You can find them here if you want to check them out.
Southern Living Magazine: One Year for Only $5...

Gevalia.. New Offer...
Gevalia has a new offer available right now to try their coffees and get a free travel mug...
I was skeptical of the mail order style of business, but the coffee was great.
They have lots of varieties and flavors to choose from ... including basic coffee and decaf.
I tried the Creme Brulee and the Espresso Roast... both very good!
I especially loved the Creme Brulee... scrumptious! It tastes like it smells, at least to me anyway.
You can sign up to try them and if you choose to not get anymore coffees fromthem simply call them and ask to be removed from their shipments.
Be sure to call right away after you received your first package to insure they don't send more if you don't want it.
Of course if you love it, you can have the coffee shipped to your door
as often or as sporadic as you like.

New Freebies from FaveCrafts...
In case you missed them, they are:
60 Cheap and Easy Crafts
Garden Ebook
Summer Crafts for Kids
Restaurant.com 70% off code....
I have a new Restaurant.com code for you all good for 70% off
of your certificates or Dinner of the Month Club deals.
This makes $25 Certificates $3 each!
Walgreens Freebies Today!!
You have to upload your pictures online (which is free) and go through the process as though you want to purchase 20 prints... then use the code where they ask for any promotional codes.
You don't have to pick up your pictures today to get the promotion...
just get them the next time you're in the store.
Walgreens is offering photo promotions every day this week...
Friday
Free 8x10 Scrapbook Page
Use code SCRAPIT
Saturday
50% off Everyday Photo Book

I use Walgreens photo processing and find it easy to use and like the occasional promotions like these... gets me motivated to print a few of those pictures that seem to get stuck on my computer! :)
Christopher and Banks Current Discounts...
Christopher & Banks is offering some discounts currently on most items.
They have some really nice things ... they're ready for fall.
Where did the summer go?
Plus... get 10% off your next purchase when you sign up to get their emails.
Use link above to find discount page. Link for 10% off coupon is at the top of the same page. Not sure if you can combine the two deals, but might be worth the try.
ReadySite... $25 Bonus for Signing up!
from your site without selling anything?
Another great site I like to use is Logical Media. Logical Media runs a lot of the same promotions and ads that ReadySite does. The difference is you can scatter them throughout your site and even write posts about individual ads or offers as you like.
Some say don't try to monetize until you've reached a certain reader level... that's up to you. My opinion... assuming you want it is to go ahead and sign up for a few programs and get your hands on a few of the available offers. Sometimes there are coupons, rebates and freebies that can give you something to write about when you can't think of anything clever.
And my most important piece of advice... don't put offers on your site/blog that you wouldn't do yourself. Say you're not comfortable with the requirements for a deal, don't post it, or if you do let people know your concerns about the offer. This keeps your credibility which is so important when you want readership!
McDonald's After School Snack Coupon Booklets...
Select McDonald's locations now have a After School Snack Booklet for sale!
They are $1 each and they include 12 coupons making each item free...
- 3 Baked Pies
- 3 Apple Juices
- 3 Small Cones

These make nice treats for the kids
when you're out and about shopping with them.
You must be under 12 to redeem the coupons.
Coupons are long dated & don't expire until 12/2011 so get your hands of some of these if you can... would make a nice gift for a friend with kids too!
Note: If your McDonald's doesn't offer them they may not take them if you get them from a friend or other source.
Also...
Don't forget the Angus Burger coupon.
The burgers cost a bit more than some of the others, but it is a bigger sandwich.

And...
Get 50 4x6 prints through 8/22/09 when you use the code EASY50 at the checkout online. They are $.10 each after the first 50.
Harvest and Freeze Sweet Corn...
Gardening is so rewarding, especially when you get to taste the sweet harvest. I love to watch the plants grow, flower and produce their wonderful fruits and veggies.
I put 12 quarts of corn in the freezer last night!!
It'll be great this winter when you can't get anything like it at the grocery!
Yummmmmmy!
...had to save 2 ears for myself though (love it on the cob!)
Corn is especially a favorite because I remember eating it from our garden when I was young. My parents used to have a little scope that told you the sugar content of produce. We would often check corn to see what ears were the sweetest (& best of course!). I wonder if you can still get those gadgets... ?!?! I might have to look.
To freeze corn... slice the corn off of the cob, there are special cutters available such as this, but I find a knife I'm comfortable with is the best because cobs can very in size. Cut the corn off the cob and then run your knife down the length of the cob to get any extra bits and juices left behind. Once you've finished cutting all your corn place it in a deep pot and add water enough to just reach the top of the corn. Heat on high until the water just gets hot and begins to boil, this is called blanching. Blanching destoys enzymes and helps keep the veggies in freezing.
Quickly place corn in freezer bags or vacuum bags (if you have a vacuum sealer) and place in cold icy water to stop the cooking process... this also saves your freezer on energy. Label and place in the freezer. I have a vacuum sealer, but ran out of bags. I had freezer bags handy so just used those. I found that when my bags were floating and cooling in the icy water I could easy work the air out of the bags by using the water pressure to force the air bubbles out of the top of the bag, essentially doing the same thing as the vacuum bag would have.
When you're ready to eat your corn simply place in pot of boiling water until heated.... no need to cook for any length of time since it was partially cooked prior to freezing.
And the Winner is....
and the results are...
You have 48 hours to contact me with your mailing information to claim your prize.
I'm sure you'll love the tote...
Liz at HoosierHomemade did a great job on this tote!
Thanks again Liz for offering this prize!
